Caption: The Association of Free Prisoners - A man holds a photograph of his brother missing since 1984 as he looks for information about him at the Association. The Association of Free Prisoners has taken the lead in collecting, recording and safeguarding former regime documentation pertaining to the imprisonment, abuse, execution and disappearance of so-called political detainees by the former Iraqi régime. The AFP will publicize this information as a resource for those abused and their families. USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives $50,300 grant has provided the AFP with basic office equipment, computers, desks and filing cabinets so that they can carry out the activities they have already started more effectively. Subsequently, OTI's Abuse Prevention Unit will assess what support will enable the AFP to establish an effective presence in the governorates.
